This one will be a wild ride! For our seventh annual Summer Youth Intensive, ASP youth will create, design, rehearse, and perform a full-length production of this deliciously wicked historical tragedy, which features one of Shakespeare’s most memorable villains, and is part of our 2017-18 Season. Over four weeks, the youth ensemble work daily with Shakespeare’s language, voice, movement, and stage combat, guided by ASP company members and experienced teaching artists. Public performances are the culmination of a month-long intensive collaboration among teens from a variety of Boston-area communities.
“It feels like this particular program has changed my life and my future. For the first time since starting high school, I am excited about life and I feel motivated and hungry.”
